Abstract

Energy management integrating renewables and conventional grids might be viable for meeting current and future energy demands. The amount of energy generated from renewable sources varies from time to time. When a hybrid renewable-based unidirectional dc microgrid is linked to the utility grid, energy might be underutilized during periods of surplus generation. Bidirectional dc microgrid systems can help with energy management and address various environmental challenges. The architecture of a bidirectional dc microgrid, including solar photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines, battery storage and conventional utility grid has been designed in this work. An energy management system (EMS) is designed to supply the required energy to particular loads under various conditions. Maximum available power is extracted from PV using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), using the P&O algorithm. When the combined power of the PV panels and wind turbine exceeds the demand of the loads, the extra energy is used to charge the batteries. The remaining energy is supplied to the power grid through an inverter when the battery's state of charge (SOC) reaches 90%. When there is a dearth of generated electricity from renewable sources, and the battery's SOC is less than 30%, power is drawn from the utility grid and provided to loads. The system design is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and the effects of altering the circumstances on the electrical parameters are observed. Variable load and generation circumstances are used to generate the simulation results.
